Marissa here!

I’m a Philadelphia-based designer who specializes in illustration and creative services.

Originally entering my career focused on the silver-screen, I decided to pursue my passion of creative storytelling down a different path- graphic design. Design holds so many fascinating aspects, and with collaboration and imagination, it can tell a pretty magnificent story.

I graduated cum laude from Drexel University in 2020, earning a B.S. in Graphic Design with a minor in Fine Arts. Since then, I’ve had the pleasure of developing creative packaging initiatives with the Squishmallows team at Jazwares on core and licensed plush, supporting one of the top selling plush brands domestically and internationally.

In my free time, I can be found exploring theme parks, sketching on my tablet, or watching the latest horror movie with my wife and our two cats.
